Over 30 years ago, I worked for the IBM Corporation in sales and marketing when I was transferred to Norwalk, Connecticut while working with our clients, General Electric. New Fairfield was the perfect location to move to as it was a direct commute to Norwalk for my new job opportunity and for my husband who worked in Westchester County for IBM, as well. We wanted an easy commute location into NY and coming from Northern Westchester County in 1985.
We fell in love with the small town vibe that New Fairfield offers, just north of Danbury, it’s a small town with one traffic light and a population of just over 14,000. Candlewood Lake, the largest lake in the state of Connecticut with approximately 60 miles of shoreline, is 8.4 square miles, ranging from 40-80 feet deep and is home to both Fairfield & Litchfield Counties. Candlewood Lake offers year round activities including boating, water skiing, fishing, tubing, fall foliage peeking, snow shoeing, ice skating, cross country skiing and ice fishing.
"New Fairfield is a small town where people wave hello, stop you in the store to check in with your life and care about one another."

Our delightful little town hosts many events from summer carnivals, Easter Egg Hunts, Breakfasts with Santa, Christmas Tree lightings, Fourth of July parades, New Fairfield High School sports events to name a few and many community organizations provide opportunities to get involved such as the Community Service Club. These events and groups bring the town together throughout the year. New Fairfield is a small town where people wave hello, stop you in the store to check in with your life and care about one another. There’s a real sense of caring and community here.
There are several Candlewood Lake communities that offer direct waterfront homes as well as off water properties, some with amenities including private beach, lake access, clubhouse, tennis, summer camps and boat docks. Social communities where people travel on golf carts to meet up with family and friends to enjoy sunsets throughout the summer. Golf courses, country clubs, hiking trails are just minutes away. Ball Pond & Squantz Pond offer non-motorized bodies of water where you can enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature while kayaking, fishing and paddle boarding.
Although we have maintained our small town feel, New Fairfield has all of today’s conveniences with a large grocery store, a country butcher, a bakery and several restaurants offering from Italian to Chinese cuisine. We even have a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts! Physician offices, hair and nail salons, dry cleaners, a local hardware store and package stores complete the one-stop-shopping environment that’s been created over time. We have a post office, library, board of ed and town hall offices all nestled in the center of town with our schools strategically located off the main road that leads from the west side of town where Connecticut meets New York into the center of town where you can find retail shopping, gas and more at the four corners of Routes 37 & 39.
